I don't actually understand what this means?human_torpedo wrote:All your points have been valid (ish), but they are based around the fact of growth development areas etc.
Sort of agree, but, the club does have a positive and vibrant environment, it honestly does, we just suck, or are old, or like me - both!human_torpedo wrote:Facts are, last year you had 3 sides, 1 of which played finals, the other missed out by %, both now dont exist. You dont see a mass exodus like that at a club with a vibrant and positive club environment.
There really wasn't that much the club could have done about this year. My main criticism is perhaps some more decisiveness late last year but there were things out of our control in that respect as well.human_torpedo wrote:Im not having a crack at ya, but gee whiz Morell, surely the club has to shoulder some burden of blame here..
My main rebuttal to this, and many others, is we keep focussing on our own clubs, or one or two other clubs. We need to begin looking at the SAAFL in general, looking across divisions and analysing what's going on holistically.human_torpedo wrote:Using Rosewater as an example, in 2012 we finished with 1 win as a club, which was the last game played for the year.. Now, they have a C grade for the first time in 10 years, and more junior sides than they've had in years as well. All this in an area that has Portland less than a KM up the road, Port District a further 2km down said road, North Haven another km down the road, and SMOSH West Lakes only a 5 minute drive away..
I know you'll say that Rosewater pay players rar rar rar, but the fact is the B and C grade have majority of new players who dont get paid but have come to the club in the last season or 2, and they stay because of the environment..
